Give Thanks

Yo,

so even though my friend wasn't able to come to church again this week (which on one had is good because it would be illegal to drive him and his friend at the same time) it has been way too long. Haha. Next week for sure.

Anyways, where I was going with that was that even though he couldn't go, a lot of good things still happened. Haha.

First was a joint service at church, so a long bilingual message. A few things happened, HW got baptised!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! So excited for my new brother! Ummm, KP accepted Christ this week!!!! Happy Birthday bro!!! xD Ummm, I got to sit with A(?) during the sermon. He's like 8 years old I think. He has a habit of hitting himself or ripping his clothes... But ya, he was hitting his cheeks during the sermon. And what can I do? Forcing him to stop is not loving. First idea, explain I don't want you to hurt yourself, so please stop? Nope. He was also hitting himself with a plastic rock and his watch. I asked him to put it in his pocket. He did, briefly. (I ended up putting the rock in my pocket when he wasn't looking, but he kept hitting himself.) Hands on your lap? Nope. "You're my little brother, I don't want you to get hurt. I love you"? Nope.
.> How bout ignoring him? (in three minutes he hit himself 25 times. >.<) I prayed for him so much in that hour(?)... I got to talk to TJ a bit after service. He's a cool kid.

Umm. OH YEAH! Today I had a couple firsts,

The first one is so bad! I nearly died! So, I have this habit of not turning my key all the way and so end up not turning the engine fully on. So, when I was going to reverse out of the parking lot and go, the wheel wasn't turning..? Crud! EMERGENCY BRAKE! *thud* *heart racing* at least the car is stopped... So, ya, first actual use of emergency brake. >.< Thankful for it though. I've had a few nightmares about me driving our old minivan down Charkay while I was in Middle school with no brakes. Scary stuff... lol.

Second first is way better. lol. So, like, I'm trying to show love to my family and not forcing anything on them. Praying for them and looking  for opportunities to share ad everything, but not forcing anything. It's thanksgiving, that's like one of like three family meals a year. Perhaps it was somewhat jokingly said, but my dad asked if I wanted to say grace and my mom enthusiastically said yes; so I prayed in front of my family for the first time? KFA laughed after. >.> But ya. I guess I can pray in front of my family now. Thanking God for working in their hearts.

Yep. Haha. Way more to be thankful than just that. So thankful that God has called us to Himself and is still calling for you guys to come to know Him. He would leave the 99 to save you, whether you were lost nearby or far away He'd give it all to have you come back.

Ttyl.

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
